Chapter 387 Hidden evil intentions!
Watching Xia Zhibai go away.
Chang Sheng couldn't help but cursed: "This guy has the nerve to call us crazy? Isn't he crazier than us? A mere civil servant is telling us the truth? It's really unreasonable."
After being stunned for a while, Chang Sheng started to curse.
Chang Mao also showed dissatisfaction, but looked deeply at Xia Zhibai's retreating figure, and said meaningfully: "I think his words have some truth. This man is very smart, even a little too smart. He They should have guessed our thoughts immediately after knowing our identities.”
"He has been in the court for less than two years, and he has never stopped making all kinds of arrogance, which has angered His Majesty. This is the first time I have seen this level of arrogance, and he has not been punished by His Majesty."
Lan Yu interrupted Chang Mao and snorted: "So what?"
"He's just a cheap talker. I don't know how frightened he will be when he is dragged to the battlefield. In other words, it's in front of everyone. It's not convenient for me to do it. Otherwise, I will beat him until he calls me father and mother, and even lectures me. It's really It turned against him.”
Lan Yu looked unhappy.
He didn't have any good impressions of Xia Zhibai.
Becoming famous at a young age and making a name for himself on the battlefield, his self-confidence has already exploded. However, in the past two years, Xia Zhibai's ideas were completely contrary to his. Not only did he intend to delay the imperial court's attack on Beiyuan, he also proposed to Being on good terms with Bei Yuan was something Lan Yu couldn't accept.
He was already dissatisfied.
It's just that I never found time to vent. Now I want to use this excuse to teach Xia Zhibai a lesson, so that Xia Zhibai can be careful in his words and deeds and not talk nonsense in areas that he is not good at. However, Xia Zhibai is really smart. After a few words, he was unable to get in the conversation.
As a military commander.
He has an amazing passion for fighting.
He longs to fight on the battlefield and charge into battle, instead of staying in Yingtian Mansion, bragging and drinking with a dozen generals. Although this kind of life is very comfortable, fighting on the battlefield is what he wants to do, and for most of the year Before that, the imperial court had even made a plan to attack Nahachu.
And he was gearing up to go out.
As a result, Xia Zhibai got a bunch of new firearms from Peiping at some point, which made Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and other generals unable to move their eyes. The originally active main war faction suddenly fell silent, which made Lan Yu heart I have been angry for a long time.
He went and saw the firearms.
It is indeed very sophisticated and powerful.
But he doesn't need those for the war. The imperial court only needs to give him 200,000 troops and horses. If he dares to issue a military order to His Majesty, he can definitely take Naha's head back to Beijing. However, no matter how he asks for a war, he never gets His Majesty's consent. The imperial court had been asking them to wait until the Zunhua Iron Smelting Factory produced more firearms.
This made the fire in Lan Yu's heart simmer even more.
He just couldn't understand why they had so many firearms in their previous wars. Can you still win the battle? Now that the imperial court has strong troops and horses, it is the time to send out troops. They are still waiting and delaying. What is the point of this?
Wouldn't it be better to just send a large army to suppress the situation and defeat Naha?
As for all this? !
Chang Sheng said: "Forget it, we came here just to scare him, and we didn't really want to do anything. He is now a person trusted by both His Majesty and His Highness. If we beat him, we will be beaten if we can't save him." A scolding, although it is innocuous, is still somewhat unnecessary.”
"From Xia Zhibai's words, His Highness should be fine."
"I guess so."
"Even if your Majesty is dissatisfied with His Highness, nothing serious will really happen, but you still have to be careful."
"Recently, the King of Jin and the King of Yan have been making small moves. Not only are they actively promoting the reform of the salt policy, but they are also doing postal services. The results are quite fruitful. It is said that in just half a year, thousands of taels of silver have been credited to their accounts. Peking is still responsible for refining Making new firearms "Xia Zhibai's actions have clearly strengthened the vassals."
Lan Yu said gloomily: "I have long seen that Zhu Di has double-minded intentions. This man is very ambitious and very forbearing. He is not so easy to deal with. It's a pity that His Highness has never listened to me. Now in Xia Zhibai's After his help, the north has recovered a lot. Especially when he went south this time, he seemed to have robbed a lot of people from the south. Many of them were divided up by the King of Jin and the King of Yan. It is not a good thing to have one and the other. "
Lan Yu also calmed down.
He is crazy, but not stupid.
It's just that he is a little arrogant, but it's not that he can't understand the situation in the court. He has always been wary of King Jin and King Yan, so he has been actively asking for war, hoping to calm down the north as soon as possible, and then write to the court to weaken the strength of each vassal king.
Otherwise, these vassal kings will become a serious problem for His Highness.
The more this is the case, the greater their opinions towards Xia Zhibai become.
In their opinion, the North's ability to grow bigger step by step is inseparable from Xia Zhibai.
Xia Zhibai provided money to the north, gave away people, and got some new firearms. There seemed to be some movement from King Zhou. The south seemed lively now, but in fact, the development speed in the north was not slow at all, or even worse. and.
At present, King Jin and King Yan have received a lot of praise for their great work in the fiefdom, but His Highness has repeatedly made mistakes, causing His Majesty to be dissatisfied. Isn't this a good sign?
All this is because of Xia Zhibai!
Chang Mao said: "As His Highness's close ministers, we can no longer let him go like this. We must find a time to remind His Highness that we can no longer be so willful. If we continue to be so willful, we will be overtaken by other vassal kings. ”
"You must also keep your distance from Xia Zhibai."
"This man has no good intentions."
"In my opinion, this person is not of the same mind as His Highness. Otherwise, why didn't he give His Highness a few good ideas when he was in front of His Highness? Instead, he kept causing His Highness to be criticized by His Majesty." Chang Sheng also said angrily, his mouth full of words. complain.
The three of them gathered together and left quickly.
Back home.
Xia Zhibai looked a little serious.
The sudden appearance of Lan Yu and the others was a bit beyond his expectation.
The news revealed between the lines of Lan Yu's words made him even more helpless. He had already vaguely realized that he was too close to Zhu Biao and had too many ideas, which had caused dissatisfaction among many people. , especially Zhu Biao’s fans.
As the prince's wing, they do not want Zhu Biao to take risks. They hope that Zhu Biao will ascend the throne in a stable manner, so that they can continue to maintain high-ranking officials and generous salaries.
After reaching a certain height, many things are out of your control, and people behind you will push Zhu Biao forward.
Not everyone can resist it.
Lan Yu and others may have had objections before, but they were not so conflicted. This time Zhu Biao was scolded or even reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang, which made Lan Yu and others a little nervous. They and Zhu Biao were both prosperous. If Zhu Biao Whatever situation is marked, none of them can get better.
They have chosen to stand against themselves.
